With my back issues and the lack of space in the motor home I decided that I needed a new hobby. Okay - Bob's cousin Donna hooked me when she drug me (kicking and screaming - NOT) into a bead shop in CA. I had a project in mind, a beautiful jade necklace that Bob gave me which needed restringing.

I just got a little carried away . . . I found some pretty beads at JoAnn's. Then I ordered some stuff on line, including a beautiful moss agate "focal". The colors are mossy green, turquoise beads and a peachy pink with copper findings.

I needed something pink . . . and fun, and some earrings.

Two more in the works - then on to gift making. Bob is really tickled about it . . . and indulges me. We're excited for the days when I can be back cooking all the time - but just waiting for my back and my hours to cooperate.

You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!
